Wild and messy morning

Hello Friends,
Not really surfable looing at Dee Why this morning. Swell was close to the 5 metre mark at 0500. It was straight south and around 10 seconds apart. No one was in the water for obvious reasons, so I’m only guessing that sets are around 1.5-2x overhead on the bombs. It could be bigger. Wind at North Head was coming from the WSW at 15-20 kts when I wrote this at 0730.
The wind is expected to decrease as we get toward dark. Looking at the cams, I’d say your best hope of a wave will be at the usual suspects for these conditions, namely the south end of Manly and Collaroy to Fishermans.
Tide was low at 0625 and will be back to a 1.4 m high at 1300.
Tomorrow looks a little more plausible for a surf along the Dee Why to Longy stretch. The wind should have backed off a bit and the swell will be dropping. Right now it seems that the energy will fade into Wednesday and then overnight it will start to come up again and be back around the 3 metre mark from Thursday through Friday.
Go well with your Monday everyone!
